Academic and Community Resources

You may not realize it, but there is a plethora of resources available to you here at Stanford to assist you on your path to becoming researchers and teachers who will contribute to scholarship and more accurately reflect our changing population. These resources will assist you academically, socially, mentally, and physically so that you can enjoy a more fruitful graduate experience.

Diversity Initiatives

Graduate Student Involvement in Diversity Recruitment

You, our current graduate students, are our best ambassadors. We encourage you to take the time during your busy graduate career to encourage undergraduates both here at Stanford and elsewhere to consider a graduate degree. With your example and assistance, we can work together to increase the diversity of the graduate student population and the academy. We encourage current graduate students to become involved in recruitment including: attending conferences/graduate school fairs representing Stanford and contacting prospective students. Contact Joseph Brown if interested.
